According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, overweight people on low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean d

iets lost more weight and got greater cardiovascular benefits than people on a conventional low-fat diet (The Boston Globe, July 17, 2008). A nutritionist wishes to verify these results and follows 30 dieters on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets and 30 dieters on the low-fat diet. These data (measured in pounds) can be found on the text website, labeled Different Diets. Let Low-carb or Mediterranean and Low-fat diets represent populations 1 and 2, respectively. Use Table 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Here researcher claims that the mean weight loss for those on  low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets is greater than the mean  weight loss for those on a conventional low-fat diet

Set the null and alternative hypotheses to test the above claim as below.

H_0:\mu_1\leq\mu_2\\\\=H_0:\mu_1-\mu_2\leq 0 versus H_A:\mu_1 > \mu_2\\\\H_A:\mu_1 -\mu_2>0

b)

Assume that the variance of the two populations are equal.

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistics is defined as

t= \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}

where s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2+(n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}

Use the foll owing Excel instructions and conduct the above test.

Step1: Enter the datainto two columns of spreadsheet.

Step2: Select Data Analysis from Data ribbon.

Step3: Select t-test. Two-sample Assuming equal variances.

Step4: Input the data range for variable 1 and variable 2.

Step5: Enter 0 as the Hypothesized Mean Difference.

Step6: Click OK.

Thus, the resultant outout is as follows:

         

                                                       Low-carb                        Low-fat

Mean                                               9.773333333       6.283333333

Variance                                          3.197885057                    3.160747126

Observations                                  30                                      30

Pooled Variance                             3.179316092

Hypothesized Mean Difference     0

df                                                      58

t Stat                                                 7.580610844

P(T < = t) one-tail                              1.54916E - 10

t Critical one — tail                           1.671552762

P(T <2) two-tail                                  3.09831E - 10

t Critical two - tail                              2.001717484

1) From the above output, the test statistics is obtained as t =  7.5806

2) From the above output, the critical value for one-tailed testis  obtained as t_{crit}=1.672

Rejection rule:  Reject H_0 if t_{crit}>1.672

c)

At 5% level of significance, the calculated value of test statistics  is greater than the critical value.

Therefore, reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, the nutritionist conclude that overweight people on  low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets lost more weight than  people on a conventional low-fat diet.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

3,628,800 (aka "10!")

Step-by-step explanation:

The first letter in the code can be 10 possible letters.

Since every letter can only be used once, the second letter can only be 9 possible letters.

E.G.: If the first letter is A, the second letter is B-J.

The third letter would be 8 possible letters, than the fourth would be 7, etc.

In math form, figuring out the possible combinations would be written out as so:

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

An easier way to write this out would be using "10!", which stands for "10 Factorial"

The result of the above equals 3,628,800.

There is 60% chance that it will rain today. If it rains, the probability of watching a movie is 0.5. But, if it does not rain t
agasfer [191]

Applying the given probabilities, it is found that there is a 0.42 = 42% probability of watching a movie today.

These following <em>probabilities </em>involve a movie being watched today:

  • 0.5 of 0.6(if it rains today).
  • 0.3 of 1 - 0.6 = 0.4(if it does not rain today).

Hence, adding them:

p = 0.5(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.3 + 0.12 = 0.42

0.42 = 42% probability of watching a movie today.
